Thats some broken Windows on the World there.

What?!? Classic enshittification then.

Yeah. we’re back at it. Us.

We’re the “look both ways”, “wash your hands”, “don’t have your money out on the subway” people who live longer.

If we’re back at it - always have been - it’s because we survived; like Darwin suggested.

all of the major institutions were on onboard.

The ones with the still-accredited doctors? Yeah, those ones, idiot.

Consider using the stats proved by the rest of the world. It’s got an amazing sample set.

They can say what they like.

VERY few companies have been sued for being as big a bunch of lying dinks as Microsoft has.

We need to learn from this shit. Ads on login screens? Privacy issues? Solarwinds sploit letting Russian hackers get to the windows source? How many more red flags are our security groups going to ignore?

wanted to know why I turned it off in the parking lot before I even got into my car. I’m done working for the day sir.

My co-worker locked his in his desk drawer when he went home for the night.

Or a “constructive dismissal”.

Here’s the thing.

I’ve been watching TV occasionally - she watches junk TV on this huge thing she got, and, nahhh. I usually do streaming - and every now and then an advert that comes on is actually for a product I’ve never heard of. It’ll be something dumb like little Caesar’s crazy French toast or some shit, but, to the ad’s credit, I would never have known about it if I didn’t see the ad.

But, 95% of ads are absolute junk. Payday loans, reverse mortgages, Dodge Rams; junk. I’d love to see the new products and Superbowl ads, and then nothing else.

This isn’t complete bunk. The new indicator of wealth is healthy teeth. Poor kids don’t get to go to the dentist regularly, so have more problems later on; rich kids get regular cleanings to prevent buildup, and have much healthier teeth.

The trick was making us equate white-white teeth with healthy teeth, even though there’s a shade of ‘white’ that is just healthy, clean enamel with no plaque buildup but isn’t true white.

I only retained this when I heard it as I was a poor kid and, wow, am I glad I have a good job as our dental care is still mercenary as fuck.

Canadians know this is for American cops.

It’s extortion. You get the special cup they’ve been saving all day that the guy spat in if you don’t tip.

Just pining for the microgravity.

He’s going to RBG us.

If Pres Biden ends up resigning during his administration, early or late, almost anyone else in the country is still a better replacement than Mr Trump. Actual mobsters may be better at running the country than Mr Trump.

I suspect the make-up and shoe were a metaphor for fronts and personalities, but that may be a little deep.

I don’t prefer proxmox, but I will say that when you have even a machine with 8 or 16gb RAM, virtualizing a workload on it just makes sense. At that point the cost is 12% resources, and the benefits IMHO farrr outweight that.

AoC needs to be VP for like 4 terms before being prez. Hammer home some decency and yeeeears of success so the fat old white guys can’t ignore her like they do with VP Harris. Also, AoC as a VP for almost a generation as the nation’s conscience kinda makes me happy.

If he cared about the country, he would’ve

… worked to ensure WE HAVE A DEMOCRACY by not switching horses mid-race, and schedule every next step after DEMOCRACY IS SECURED .

Sorry to shout, but it’s hard to be heard over the bleating of the Russian bots.

1. Don’t switch horses mid-race
2. Deal with this after we’ve secured democracy
3. You may not BE a Russian spammer working to elect the orange degenerate puppet by sowing discord and making people not vote, but that just means you aren’t getting paid for it.

No, comrade.
